Is a Samsung 65" 4K TV worth the $110 price difference over an LG 65" 1080p TV?
I'm in the market for a 65" screen. I usually don't watch much over 720p video, but I've noticed a few sets that offer 4K for about $110 over the price of a similar brand/model 1080p set. $110 for a 4K upgrade seems pretty good deal, but since I hardly watch anything beyond 720p, and my couch will be 9 feet from the screen, I was just wondering if it'd be worth it. I'd like to be able to "futureproof" my set, but if the improvement is negligible, I'm perfectly ok sticking with the old 1080p capability.

There is very little benefit to 4K unless you have a UHD Blu-ray DVD player or watch some of the few 4K videos or movies on Netflix, YouTube, or Amazon Prime. Or unless you watch your own videos shot with a 4K camera. All other broadcast is either 720p or 1080i, not even 1080p.

You already answered your own question. Do you even own a 4K bluray? None of the cable, or networks even transmit in 4K defenition. Best thing to do is go to a demo and see the difference. If you collect Blurays, thinking of upgrading in the future, then 110 difference is really not much.
4K has been here for a while, and I did not see a big hype about it. Just like the curve screen, they were not really a big hit.
